180g Acrylic Tank Questions Or Big Tank

[magicvega]

Its a standard 72 x 24 x 24 tank and im wondering cause ive always have had glass and never noticed any bowing (55g size)and i wanted to know if you put a level on it how much of a gap should there be from top to bottom after being filled? Thanks a lot for your help in advance. Im wondering if i should be really scared or not lol.

please stick with acrylic, it is clearler, lighter and 10 times stronger than glass. Glass tends to leak through the silicone after 10 yrs. Acrylic can last over 2 decades
